Tawn; you tell your guys to let it out 10 black marks and you trust it to be out correctly
I have a buddy, he fishes with me often, his initials are Lou, oh crap, thats his name

; well I cut my braid on my deepest rods. I have them tied at 50 ft. I leave enough "tag" on the line so it's easy to see where I tied it.
Lou picks up one of the rods and says,"How far back"? I tell him, "Let it out to the knot". I'm busy doing something else and don't give Lou another thought. After a while, he says, "How far out is this supposed to be"? I tell him 50 ft. He says, "Uhmm, I think I goofed".
I look back and see the knot where the braid is tied to the BACKING!!
I tell him, "Start Cranking, nobody but you brings that line back in to the boat". It had to be out 350ft with an umbrella
